Burnout is not a badge of honor. 'I'm so stressed!' doesn't signal status.

When people brag about being overwhelmed, they're seen as less capable and caring. They get less help—and drain their colleagues.

The appropriate response to stress isn't to boast. It's to seek support.

People who love their work shouldn’t judge those who don’t. Enjoying a job is not a sign of virtue—it’s a mark of fit.

Many people don’t have the luxury of finding their passion or the freedom to follow it.

If you're lucky enough to like work, don't be smug. Be grateful.

Urging people to be positive doesn’t boost their resilience. It denies their reality.

When times are tough, we don’t need good vibes only. We need a hand to keep us steady through all the vibrations.

Strength doesn’t come from forced smiles. It comes from feeling supported.…

Congratulations and good luck to our 2023 Graduating Fellows! Iman Boston, M.D., M.B.A. Randeep (Annie) Kaur and Seemeen Hassan, MD. We wish you all the success in your next year of fellowship!

Toxic cultures exploit generosity. Takers impose extra work on givers, and no good deed goes unpunished.

Healthy cultures reward generosity. People protect givers from takers, and cream rises to the top.

Helpfulness is not a weakness to target. It's a strength to safeguard.

So excited for the future of these three ladies! ConGRADulations to Iman Boston, M.D., M.B.A. Randeep (Annie) Kaur and Dr. Seemeen Hassan for completing their UAMS Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology fellowship!

It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

In burnout cultures, people are judged by the sacrifices they make. Hobbies, vacations, and even family time are viewed as distractions to penalize.

In healthy cultures, people are judged by the commitments they keep. Interests outside work are seen as passions to celebrate.
